Homecoming Color Wars Guidelines CONTINUED:  Your organization will need to set-up. A map will be provided to you with your tent’s exact location.  If your sponsor is unable to supervise your table, you must secure a parent volunteer or another adult to do so. Please Ms. Arango, for assistance.  Your organization will NOT be handling money. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your tickets.  Return tickets to the treasurer in your ticket collection bag at the end of field day, along with the attached ticket recap sheet.  Remember, SGA receives 10% of your sales in order to cover the cost of Field Day Events.  You must create a display that indicates the amount of tickets for each item or activity you are selling (example: pizza slice = 2 tickets).
